Feel the Burn, Burn the Feeling! Your STR had gone up by 1!
Keep on Keeping on! Your STA has gone up by 1!
Three each, so his already impressive STA was at 38 now, while his STR was at about eighteen or nineteen. At this rate, he would go all the way up to STA 40 before he levelled up!
Speaking of which…
[Tree Climbing] has levelled up! Level 1-2.
"Hell yeah!" Naruto grinned, "Let's see how far I can get it before Iruka-sensei get's back!"
This was typical of Naruto. He saw people who did just enough and no more than that as boring, un-ambitious, idiots. When he had the choice, he always tried to exceed expectations.
When Iruka Shunshin'd back into the clearing, Naruto was still going strong and had just managed to get to Level 3 in [Tree Climbing].
"Naruto, you can stop now." Iruka called in amusement. He could tell that the excitable boy hadn't stopped since he had started, yet he was barely winded.
"How'd I do?" Naruto asked with a slight bit of smugness as he waltzed down the tree, only slipping part of the way down.
"Not bad for an hour's work." Iruka said approvingly, "Sorry it took so long; somebody tried to book out all the copies of the Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu and I had to do mete out some…educational guidance to sort things out."
Naruto shivered at the cold tone that his favourite teacher had taken. If he had to guess, the boy would say that whoever had gotten on Iruka's bad side, not something Naruto had ever aspired to do.
"Well, at least you managed to get a copy." Naruto said with a cheerfulness he didn't really feel. Someone was trying to get in his way, again! How the hell did these people get their information? He had only asked Iruka-sensei about an alternative to the Bunshin yesterday!
"I did. Here you go Naruto." Iruka handed him a scroll that was lined with brown lines.
[Congratulations!]
'Climb to the Top' Quest Completed! You have successfully reached Level Two of [Tree Climbing] before Iruka returned!
Quest Completion Reward: +500 EXP, 'Doton: Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu' Scroll, +100 Reputation with Umino Iruka.
Naruto subtly closed the window as he grinned at the scroll. He was just about to open it when an ANBU wearing a cat mask Shunshin'd into the training field in a swirl of leaves.
"Uzumaki Naruto, the Hokage requests your presence at once." the masked Shinobi stated, "Please accompany me to the Hokage Tower."
"In the middle of after school detention?" Iruka asked with a frown, "Hokage-sama arranged the materials to be taught here himself. What could need Naruto's immediate presence, Neko-san?"
"I am sorry, Umino-san, but something…disturbing has occurred that requires Uzumaki-san's presence." the ANBU replied, "Rest assured, it will not take long to resolve, but it does require haste to do so."
"OK then." Iruka sighed, "Off you go with Neko-san."
Naruto nodded and walked over to the ANBU, who grabbed his shoulder and vanished with him in another swirl of leaves.
The feeling of being carried along in a Shunshin was…surprisingly unpleasant. Naruto felt himself move at fast speeds, faster than he could run, and he developed tunnel vision from that. By the time he and the ANBU materialised in front of the Hokage Tower, he had made a note to work on his awareness so that didn't happen again.
"Are you alright, Uzumaki-san?" Neko asked, "Side-Along Shunshin's are more turbulent than regular ones."
"Yeah…I'm good." Naruto replied as his stomach churned slightly, "I think I'll walk next time though."
"Understandable." Neko nodded, "Now, let's get you to Hokage-sama."
In the Hokage's Office…
Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyes tiredly as he waited for Naruto to show up. This would not be a pleasant talk for the boy.
Sitting in a pair of chairs were members of the Konoha Regular Police, the only police force left in Konoha after the Uchiha Massacre. Made up of civilians with bare bones training in subduing other civilians, they had been overshadowed by the Uchiha Military Police and had tried to replace them, only to be shot down rather firmly by Sarutobi.
Several 'prominent and concerned citizens' pretty much controlled the Regular Police and he knew that almost all of them hated Naruto for what he carried within him. Today was merely another expression of that hatred.
"Jiji!" Naruto called as he entered, "Ready to turn the hat over to me yet?"
"Ohohoho." Sarutobi chuckled, "Sadly no, Naruto-kun. Take a seat. These two…gentlemen have some unpleasant news for you."
Naruto threw a quizzical look at the two men as he sat down. They were very ordinary-looking people, utterly forgettable faces, average height and the like. They wore the brown and green uniforms of the Regular Police and carried the Jutte of their rank from a hoop on their belts.
"Uzumaki-san." one of the officer's said, a badly-concealed sneer concealed in his words, "I regret to inform you that someone has broken into your apartment and vandalised it."
